A very open contest sees a chance taken on MILITRY DECORATION (third) who was three lengths behind the reopposing The Colorist (first) over 1m4f at Lingfield. That effort was a step in the right direction for Camilla Poulton's charge and, after further help from the handicapper, the nine-year-old arrives here 5lb lower than his last winning mark. Beau Vintage completes the shortlist in a competitive heat.

DARKZIDEOFTHEMOON shaped well behind Pablo Prince here on his penultimate outing and he's best excused a poor run in the face of a quick turnaround at Wolverhampton since, so he's marginally preferred to The Colorist, who was well backed when scoring at Lingfield 4 weeks ago.

Karen Jewell has three live chances and the pick of the trio could be PABLO PRINCE who still looks on an attractive mark.

After a ready success over 7f at Lingfield last month. this appears to be a good opportunity for YANKEE DUDE to follow up his first victory. Warren Greatrex's runner has the advantage of experience on many of his rivals here and that can be put to best use. The sternest resistance is likely to come from Kameko colt General Admission, who is bred to be involved, while Cy Twombly is also a newcomer to note.

MUSIC OF TIME is a typically well-bred sort for his top yard and he could be sufficiently forward to make a winning start for all that Yankee Dude sets a reasonable standard after opening his account at Lingfield. Breeze-Up recruit General Admission is another one to be interested in.

The betting can help with the newcomers but YANKEE DUDE picked up strongly to win at Lingfield and may defy his penalty.

DETAIN made a promising start to his career when getting off the mark at the first attempt over C&D in August and he should be difficult to beat. With an entry in the Group 1 Futurity towards the end of the month, this appears to be a stepping stone for John and Thady Gosden's runner. Arc-winning trainer Ralph Beckett saddles newcomer Ar Rayyan for his first taste of racecourse action and he isn't easily discounted, while The Hare Rail has shaped in his two starts to date as if he'll be winning races before long.

DETAIN looked a top prospect when making a successful start over C&D 7 weeks ago, coming from a fair way back and displaying a fine turn of foot to seal matters under hand riding. That form is working out and this Futurity entry can remain unbeaten. Ar Rayyan heads up a bunch of interesting newcomers, while The Hare Rail could outrun his likely odds stepped up in trip.

Ar Rayyan is an interesting newcomer but DETAIN looked a colt with serious potential on his debut here in August.

HUCKLESBROOK attempted to make all the running but was just touched off by half a length into second at Sandown in August. The son of Aclaim now sports a first-time hood, which could eke out the improvement required to go one better on only his second start in a nursery. Berning Hot arguably produced the best effort of her career so far when finishing fourth at Doncaster on her penultimate start and she is one to note, while Fort Augustus and Panenka both warrant market checks.

Lots with chances but FORT AUGUSTUS appeals as a likely improver now stepping into nurseries so gets the vote off an attractive initial mark. Hucklesbrook is weighted to have a big say on the back of his excellent Sandown second and next on the list ahead of handicap debutants Lovestruck Romeo and Nightbird.

A wide-open nursery in which SWEET SONATA is tentatively preferred to Hucklesbrook, Nightbird and Rogue Bullet.

William Buick chooses Scarlet Princess over Dawn Sky out of the pair of Godolphin newcomers in this contest. The former is a half-sister to dual Group 2-winner Loxley, so it would be no surprise to see her go close on her racecourse debut. However, CAST PARTY looks the way to go. John and Thady Gosden's youngster made a highly promising start to her career when finishing third at Newmarket last month and she could take a big step forward from that display to get her head in front. Requisite is another to take seriously after her third at Sandown.

Lots of potential on show here, not least the Gosdens' Sea The Stars filly CAST PARTY who made a promising start when third at Newmarket and can take a sizeable step forward now. Charlie Appleby's Kingman filly Scarlet Princess could emerge as the chief threat, with Sandown debut third Requisite and debutantes Dawn Sky and Club Class also worthy of consideration.

Ralph Beckett's REQUISITE may have chased home two smart prospects at Sandown and her yard's 2yos usually come on for a run.

Green Power showed a lot more when making the frame in this grade over track and trip on his latest outing and he should mount a bold bid off 1lb lower. However, it may pay to side with BEAUTY GENERATION, who was far from disgraced in third over C&D last month. A first-time visor could bring out the improvement needed to regain the winning thread. Mbappe is the pick of the remainder.

C&D winner MIDNIGHT DRIVE signalled she's ready to go in again when a promising fourth here last time out so edges the vote in this highly-competitive handicap. Pursuit of Truth goes into handicaps with more to offer so is next on the list ahead of the resurgent Falcon Nine and C&D scorers Kaaranah and One Step Beyond.

Midnight Drive and Mbappe have more to come over C&D but well-connected PURSUIT OF TRUTH is interesting on his handicap debut.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

CHALK MOUNTAIN continues to go from strength to strength and turned out again quickly after a comfortable success over C&D last week, the four-year-old can follow up under a 5lb penalty. Not beaten far in his attempt for the double at Sandown, Hat Toss looks to be a key player along with Asimov, who may improve for going back up in trip having scored over 6f at Newcastle last month. Mezzo Soprano and Upscale are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

CHALK MOUNTAIN completed the hat-trick in the style of one with plenty more to offer when landing a C&D handicap last week and, turned out under a penalty, he looks a big player again. Mezzo Soprano, following her encouraging third over this track/trip recently, is another to consider, along with Upscale and Asimov.

The return to AW has been the making of CHALK MOUNTAIN (nap) and he can go in again. Upscale looks to be the main danger.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Narrowly denied over 6f at Lingfield when last in action, LA VERITE is interesting on her first start for new connections and she may be able to get off the mark in a winnable contest. A relatively promising fourth over this distance at Wolverhampton last time out, True Blue Gent has run well here before and has to be of interest. Unexposed handicap debutant Twilight Truth appears best of the remainder.

Not a strong contest by any means and with that in mind it could pay to take a chance on GLASTONBURY. He's not figured in a trio of quick-fire maidens but appeals as the type to make his mark starting out from a low base in handicaps for his good yard and he gets the nod to find the requisite improvement. La Verite on debut for Patrick Owens and Marco Botti pair Sneaky Girl and True Blue Gent head the dangers.

Irrelevant can go well but the return to 7f and Class 6 company, coupled with new headgear, can see HAVANA MOJITO bounce back.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

This appeals as an ideal opportunity for HIERARCHY, with the five-year-old having bounced back to form of late with placed efforts at Salisbury and Hamilton. Jamie Osborne's charge is now 5lb lower than his last winning mark and he gets the vote ahead of Laguna Boy, who has strong claims on his penultimate success over further at Chelmsford. Tiger Tulip has been knocking on the door of late and she is another who can have a say in proceedings.

LAGUNA BOY shaped better than the result at Chelmsford last time and there should be a bigger effort coming if stall 10 doesn't scupper him, so he's preferred to Hierarchy who, admittedly, has a more favourable draw. Big R should be on the premises.

Hiatus and Hierarchy are feared but the unexposed LAGUNA BOY could take another step forward now dropped back to sprint trips.
